Combined Authority and Combined County Authority Returning Officer guidance for Combined Authority Mayoral elections

Local ROs are required by law to send out poll cards as soon as practicable after the publication of the notice of election.

In order to ensure that voters receive the same information at a similar time regardless of where they live in the combined authority area, you should liaise and agree with local ROs on timings for the delivery of poll cards. 

You can find more information on the production of poll cards in our guidance advice for Returning Officers delivering local elections.
